Can be hard or easy
OCS was my first employer. The amount of work you do depends on what role you are given. Driving the machines is the most relaxing work, but mopping and dust rolling are quite time consuming and hard. Overall though I couldn't have chosen a better first job.
Pros
Nice co-workers, good management, can be relaxing and laid back
Cons
Can be exhausting if put on manual tasks, pay could be a bit better

worst employer I've had. Ever
Handyman (Current Employee) - Christchurch, Canterbury - 19 April 2016
Supervisor is critical and micro-managing and lacks any sort of modern management training. Tends to put his subordinates down when they make a mistake rather than retraining them.Training is inadequate to say the least.Usually we are shown once only how to carry out a new task.
Typical day is vacuuming up around grinding areas various metals and composites, shifting furniture, cutting up old seat belts (100s of them) cleaning drains inside hangars, breaking non-servicable aircraft parts.Hardest job is changing air filters in the paintshop and composite shop. hazmat suits and respirator and a very nasty environment for 4 hours every month.
Co-workers are great; hard working and honest and not enjoying their jobs either.
Employer is mean with leave applications. I had to make up 90 minutes lost time when attending a family emergency.
Pros
close to home
Cons
heavy uninteresting work, repetative, and at times dangerous

Interesting and enjoyable
Part time cleaner (Current Employee) - Christchurch City, Canterbury - 16 April 2016
I worked every night as a cleaner at the Department of Corrections for one (1) hour and in every MWF nightly also I worked at the Wise Group for two (2) hours. The management is pretty good.
As cleaners into the this two companies alone. Pressure but very enjoyable part of the job.
Pros
Just to clean no break
Cons
couple of hour only

Team spirit and fun workplace

First of all team spirit , this is very help for me to do works effectively . Meanwhile supervisor is train them when a new device uses in work place and give advise . In addition to this supervisor is always make sure that whether we are using the safety measures correct or not.
Pros

Cons
some night work places are in open place, so wind is a problem

Osc
Cleaner Bin Boy (Former Employee) - Mount Maunganui, N - 28 November 2014
It was a fast moving work place if you were too slow then the pressure would build up and your work peers would have to help out with the extra work so it would pay to stay on your feet and make sure you could handle your own pull and not to rely on others to help you out all the time.
I learned that it really pays to be fast with what your doing but make sure I did it my best and then move on to the next
My co workers were okay I was the youngest though, they all had their own ways that I had to adjust to be able to make the team work work.

Jobs at OCS Group
Overall good
Mailroom (Current Employee) - Takapuna, N - 4 November 2014
6am start. delivering milk, papers. turning on and cleaning coffee machines for the working day..sort and deliver mail and parcel, send courier notices to staff.
I have learn to respect every person that i meet in my day to day duties. Do not have much contact with managers as we are outsourced and they know we do our job well.
I have only 1 co worker as i work on my own and he does the afternoon shift..we work well together when required..
I do not think there is a hard part in this job after 8 years.
The most enjoyable part is the good mornings as people pass through my work area..
Pros
good hours and lovely people
Cons
No back up when required
